Quinnipiac Poll — Obama Supplants Bush As Worst President Ever

Many of us already had this in the books but watching Pres. Trump change, redirect and correct the terrible policies of the last eight years has sealed Barack Obama’s fate.

Being the first mixed-race president doesn’t give you the license to be the best or even be included in the mix of those regarded as the top leaders of our country. Obama was selected into office at a time America thought it’s finally time to do this.

The major problem here was he wasn’t qualified, as a junior Senator from Chicago and no leadership experience or creating policies, it was a bad match from the beginning. Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Harry Reid guided him with legislation that didn’t help working Americans or many of the individuals the Democratic Party said they “worked for.”

The economy was in recession, and if Obama had chosen to fix the job situation, his presidency would have been so much different. But, it was based on ending jobs, putting people on welfare and creating a healthcare insurance program ran by the government, forcing Americans to buy in like it was a tax.

In a new Quinnipiac University Poll, 33% named Obama the worst president since World War II, and 28% put Bush at the bottom of post-war presidents.

“Over the span of 69 years of American history and 12 presidencies, President Barack Obama finds himself with President George W. Bush at the bottom of the popularity barrel,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

Of course, Obama and Bush are the most recent presidents; historians will tell you that it takes decades to truly measure an individual president’s performance.

Ronald Reagan topped the poll as the best president since World War II, with 35%. He is followed by presidents Bill Clinton (18%) and John F. Kennedy (15%).

Obama received only 8% in the best presidents poll.

Color doesn’t make the man, his character does. Obama’s could charm the cherries off a cherry tree with his deep voice that spoke in a slow cadence which dragged his listeners along. He played with Hollywood and urban music royalty to give him street credibility, but his policies and legislation didn’t follow.
